An FAQ about photo studios dedicated to product photography

What’s a photography studio for product photo shoots?

Why use this type of system? What are the advantages?

Product photo shoots and animations in house is especially useful in certain cases, e.g. when you want to simplify your operations and avoid making trips back and forth to an outside product photo studio. This might be the case when you’re dealing with bulky or valuable items. A number of users, like online retailers, R&D and Quality Control departments, use an in-house studio so they can be more responsive in their internal and external communications. Your ROI and cost savings will be higher or lower over the long term depending on the number of items you have to photograph.

What are the features of these studios?

They’re designed to standardize and facilitate product photo shoots . For instance, the software lets you set the parameters on your camera and displays them on the monitor in live view. Features like automatic camera settings and assisted trimming of one or more items in one go are all designed to make photo shoots easier and less of a hassle for you.

The backlit studio box

What types of images? Flat and vertical photographs (depending on the layout of the camera holders in the studio box). Some studios currently on the market allow you to produce 360° animations and 3D hemispheric views using a camera arm setup.

A key benefit: the compact size of the studio vs. the space it provides for photo shoots, which makes it adjustable, compact, and well suited to photographing many different types of products.

The mini studio or compact photo studio — backlit light box

What types of images? Photographs of items (vertical or flatlay — depending on the layout of the camera holders in the studio box). Some of the models that are currently available let you produce 360° animations.

A key benefit: they’re easy to move around and generally don’t take up much space.

3D photo shoot systems

There are two possibilities for producing 3D visuals. The first is a studio dedicated to object modelling or an articulated arm equipped with several cameras, combined with a software-operated turntable. It lets you produce 3D spherical or hemispheric animations of your items.
